The Black Hawks of this place,
and the Johnsons played an exciting

am; olso catch of shot liner by
I'D" Cram. The No Names are to

noon with the Black Hawks. =
c. c. King, of Lunenburg, has pur-
chased half interest in L. B. Boyn-
toms clothing business. Mr.. King
comes here highly spoken of as a
straightforward, clean business man,
and the new firm, which will be known
as King & Boynton, will doubtless
make the clothing business lively.
They will increase the present stock
and put themselves in shape to meet
| all demands of the trade, and will en-
deavor to offer the largest and best
stock of clothing, furnishing goods
and head gear ever offered in the
| county.

Ceylon, at the Congregational church,
Friday evening, August 10. Seventy
five photographs, taken in the coun-

who has for several years been en-
gagged in mission work in Ceylon. All

! The summer terms of school in dis
tricts 4 and 5 deserve mention for
their excellent record of attendance.
In No. 4, taught by Miss Florence
Bryant, only one scholar had absent
marks. The names of those having
no marks were; Eva Campbell, Leon
Daniels, Ella Heath, Elmer Hill,
Frank Small, Allen Small and Har-
rold Waite. Arlie Campbell had no
tardy marks and Was absent only when
kept away by sickness. In No. 5,
taught by Miss Myrtle Warren, of
Stowe, one scholar only had absent
marks. Lutte Harmon, Bertha Pike,
Mabel, Lilly and Grace Smith, and
Albert Ellsworth had no marks whats
aver Carroll Spaulding was absens
only from sickness. This is good
showing, and we should be pleased to
receive reports from other schools.
What would undoubtedly have been
a disastrous conflagration in our viii
lage Wednesday night of last week
was prevented by the thoughtful and
timely action of Louie Blair. E. S.
Robinson was i'll and confined to his
house that day, and to accommodate
his customers, allowed them to take
his keys and 60 into the shop, where
they did their own tOnsorial work. In
the evening one of the parties started
the oil lamp for the purpose of boil
ing water, and left the shop with the
lamp going at full blast. About 10
p. M, Louie Blair, passing the shop,
observed an unusual light, and upon
investigation noticed that the lamp
was running high, the upper part of
the heating arrangement being in
flames. He ran over to Robinson's,
who came over with all possible speed.
Ed. started to pick the thing up, when
the handles came off and all of the
paraphernalia fell to the floor. The
burner came to pieces, but Ed. caught
up the oil tank, it being all there was
left, and threw it out of doors. Had
it not been for speedy action the shop
would soon have been in flames, and
the other buildings near by would
have passed into ashes with it. 1t is
said that several parties passed by
shortly before and noticed the light,
but did not investigate. People should
be more thoughtful about such mat
tiers, and if light is burning at an
unusual hour and no one being about
the premises, means should be taken
to see that it is put out.
